Wrong. Pluto is now understood to be but one of a family of many dwarf planets or planetisimos. Also known as a KBO. Pluto does not clear out its vicinity of other bodies.
The solar system consists of EIGHT planets:
the four inner rocky planets, two outer gas giants and two outer ice giants.

Son, don't tell me that shit. I studied astronomy for 15 years, came within an inch of choosing astronomy as my career, have taught astronomy and still teach it informally to a group of people in my own science forum. Pluto is NOT a planet. It is a dwarf planet, or a Kuiper Belt Object. And it is staying that way.
